Articles

The current article count of this wiki (100 as I type this, and 3,604 as you read this) contains a few dozen "junk" articles created by a longtime cross-wiki vandal. These need to be deleted once this wiki has an admin (or it might be done earlier by a steward). Also, the "official" article count (the count of "content pages") is so small because (apparently) the vast majority of the over 1,000 pages imported from the Incubator are lacking internal-style [[wikilinks]]. If users can simply link appropriate terms (those with existing or soon-to-exist articles) on those pages, the count will go up. (Note that external-style links and interwiki links to other wikis don't count.) - dcljr (उलोवप) 08:54, 24 जून 2015 (IST)

temporary adminship

hello friends i have recently started editing on konkani wikipedia but because of missing infoboxes and all other modules it is creating a problem to start up...i request for a temporary adminship so that i can import need infoboxes and modules, presently i am admin of fiji hindi wikipedia too so i have basic experience of import and adminship...my request for adminship is only for 30 days only so that i can import infoboxes and modules...please support this appeal...Sushilmishra (उलोवप) 17:17, 29 जून 2015 (IST)

• Support, but with a condition: I strongly support Sushilmishra's request, because I know that it is difficult to work without the templates, but on one condition, that the candidate will use the adminship for technical purposes only like importing, and not to make policy decisions, like deleting pages, etc. While I appreciate the effort you are putting in to create articles, I feel that you need to have more grasp of the language if you are going to take policy decisions.The Discoverer (उलोवप) 00:41, 2 जुलय 2015 (IST)

Enable Local Uploads for Sysop and Importers in konkani Wikipedia

oppose

• Oppose - Atleast until satisfactory resolution of my concerns:
  • Why only sysops? As a principle, I'm in favour of giving as many rights as possible to users, as against restricting rights to admins. I feel restricting the rights of users is against the catchphrase "the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit".
  • There is no checking mechanism on the Konkani Wikipedia to verify the fair-use rationale. This can lead to copyright issues.
  • I have a feeling that atleast for now, the Konkani Wikipedia can make do with the free images available on Commons.

• The Discoverer all new wikipedias are following same policy, if we have to allow for others yours also we can do it but for that we need to import all the template and for that purpose i have asked on phabricator to enable import as soon as possible, more over they will enable it not only to sysops but also for importer user group and soo after it is enabled then import user group will enabled and trusted user can be given importer right too....so i suggest you to please reconsider your decision....
• I agree with your view about "the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit" but gom.wikipedia is new and slowly slowly all features will be enabled....1 need to crawl before running...right mate...
• about mechanism i agree with you but for that as i said we need to import templates and infoboxes, in which it will be mentioned clearly that so and so image is non-free fair usage and source of image should also be mentioned...
• free images are availble on commons i agree with that but what about logos? such images are not available on commons
• I request you to please reconsider your decision.....tnx.... Sushilmishra (उलयात) 22:41, 5 जुलय 2015 (IST)

I'm not saying we should never ever have non-free content.. just not right now, and not 'only for admins'. At present, we have a lot of work to do with the templates, importing, naming, categorising, references, creating stubs, etc. Also, all Wikipedias that I've come across have uploading of non-free images allowed for all users. So, what I'm suggesting is let's first complete at least the task of importing templates and pages, and then later we can enable uploading of non-free images, which will be open for everyone, so then we will be able to upload the needed images as and when we like, without the need for adminship. The Discoverer (uloi) 00:27, 7 जुलय 2015 (IST)

Tab to change the menus between Latin script and Devanagari script

We have received feedback from many users that the Display Language (language of the menus) cannot be changed from gom-deva to gom-latn unless the user is logged in.

Correct names for Goan Konkani

All over Wikipedia, Goan Konkani is called "गोवा कोंकणी / Gova Konknni"; this is obviously wrong, because "गोवा / Gova" is not a Konkani word in the first place. Hence I propose that we request for the names to be as follows:

• gom-deva: गोंयची कोंकणी
• gom-latn: Gõychi Konknni
• gom: गोंयची कोंकणी / Gõychi Konknni

Here, the Romi name is as per the official orthography. Please leave your comments below, so that we can build a consensus for the correct names. The Discoverer (uloi) 12:08, 15 जुलय 2015 (IST)

Konkani

It would be better to make the Konknni word as KONKANI. The word Konkani is used widely in Goa and also by the Mangalorean community. Konknni is mostly used for the people of the Konkan region ( Konknni Lok). Hence Konkani is the right word. The other is correct User:Rosario Fernandes

support-i support just KONKANI as this the name of language, so onlh konkani ll be correct---Sushilmishra (उलयात) 01:45, 16 जुलय 2015 (IST)

While some people do say Konkani, this is the Anglicised name, and is suitable when speaking in English. When speaking in Konkani, the correct word, and correct spelling is Konknni. The foremost institutions and scholars always say that Konknni is the correct word, and Konkani is incorrect.

Following are some examples that show that Konknni is the correct term:

• Thomas Stephens Konknni Kendr
• Dalgado Konknni Akademi
• Vauraddeancho Ixtt always uses Konknni
• Fr. Pratap Naik, SJ always says that Konknni is the correct word
• Quote from 'Romi Lipient Konknni Kors' by Matthew Almeida, SJ, TSKK: "... use the spelling 'Konknni' both in Konknni language and in English to avoid the wrong pronunciation 'Konkani' entering our language."
• Even in songs like Konknni Visronk Nam by Alfred Rose and Rita Rose and Konknni Amchi Goenchi Bhas by Remo Fernandes, the word used is Konknni.
• Konknni is the correct transliteration of कोंकणी as per the rules of orthography.

Hence, even if Konkani is used sometimes, we need to stick to the correct word, and that is Konknni. The Discoverer (uloi) 08:30, 16 जुलय 2015 (IST)

Support I support the word KONKNNI because it is as per Romi Orthography.--Konknni mogi 24 (उलोयात) 17:41, 31 जुलय 2015 (IST)

www.wikipedia.org

I've added this wiki to the multilingual portal at www.wikipedia.org using the default MediaWiki names (गोवा कोंकणी / Gova Konknni), plus ಕೊಂಕ್ಣಿ in Kannada script (based on मुखेल पान). I realize the Kannada name is incomplete, and that there are suggestions above to use different Devanagari and Latin transcriptions. Since this is the most prominent place that the language's name will be used across the Wikipedia project, I welcome your feedback at the portal's talk page. Thank you! – Minh Nguyễn ^💬 20:47, 18 जुलय 2015 (IST)

Oppose

Better not to add Goychi. It belongs to all people who speak it and not to any particular region. User:Rosario Fernandes

@ Rosario Fernandes,

• Most people use 'Konknni', and some spell it as 'Konkani', and we have to decide which is the correct one to use here. I already explained in the section 'Konkani' above and presented solid evidence that academics say that Konknni is correct, publications use Konknni, and Konknni is used in popular culture. If you still feel that Konkani should be used, please provide some supporting material. Also, please keep in mind here that we are talking about what the language is called while speaking in Konkani, and not in some other language.
• Regarding Gõychi, I agree with you 100%, and I also personally feel that we should not put any place's name, but there is a reason for doing so. Just like we call our language Konkani, similarly there is a group of dialects that are similar to our Konkani, but separate. These people also call their language Konkani. Therefore, to distinguish the two, their group of dialects are called as Maharashtrian Konkani, while our language is called Goan Konkani. So it must be understood that adding 'Goan' before Konkani is not an attempt to restrict the language to a particular region, but rather we are forced to add it to avoid confusion, because there exists another language with the same name.

I hope this addresses your concerns. Mog asum di, The Discoverer (uloi) 10:02, 23 जुलय 2015 (IST)

Dear,

Proof I have no time to collect. The only proof at present I can give is yourself using the word Konkani instead of Konknni !. I am not interested in who is right and wrong and am nobody to decide. It does not make a difference. Important is the literature being put up on wikipedia for the benefit of Konkani speaking community spread worldwide.

kindly check this link --Rosario Fernandes (उलोयात) 13:37, 23 जुलय 2015 (IST)Directorate of Official Language, Goa Govt.

Yes I agree with you this is not a major matter, and we should not fight about this. Regarding me using 'Konkani', I only use the spelling 'Konkani' when I'm writing in English :) Regards, The Discoverer (uloi) 14:25, 23 जुलय 2015 (IST)

Origin of the incorrect names

I dug a little deeper into the origins of the incorrect names "गोवा कोंकणी / Gova Konknni" that are currently in use, and the earliest mention of these I could find is a comment on Phabricator by User:Mjbmr on May 19 2015. Prior to that, the name of the project was always " Konknni / कोंकणी " . The Discoverer (uloi) 13:27, 25 जुलय 2015 (IST)

Leaving out the geographical identifier 'Goan'

As Sushilmishra and Rosario Fernandes have pointed out above, there is a very good case to leave out the geographical identifier Goan / Gõychi / गोंयची / Gova(incorrect) / गोवा(incorrect). As I have explained above, the word 'Goan' is used only to differentiate it from Maharashtrian Konkani, but the speakers of this language with the ISO code gom always refer to it as " Konknni / कोंकणी ". Maharashtrian Konkani is only a group of dialects, with hardly any chance of trying for it's own Wikipedia (almost no literature, and no editing community), hence there is no real need for differentiation. The local name is independent of what the English or official name is. For example, the Chinese language is called "中文" or "Zhongwen", and they are not expected to use the word "Chinese" transliterated into Chinese characters; similarly, "German" is "Deutsch" and they are not expected to change it. In the same way, the language with the ISO code gom may be called Goan Konkani in English for disambiguity, but the local name should be " Konknni / कोंकणी "

Hence I propose that our first choice should be the following:

• gom-deva: कोंकणी
• gom-latn: Konknni
• gom: कोंकणी / Konknni

This was the name that was used all over Wikipedia and Wikimedia until the Konkani Wikipedia was created in July 2015 and there were absolutely no problems, technical or otherwise.

Only in case there is a serious problem then we go for:

• gom-deva: गोंयची कोंकणी
• gom-latn: Gõychi Konknni
• gom: गोंयची कोंकणी / Gõychi Konknni

The Discoverer (uloi) 13:27, 25 जुलय 2015 (IST)

Final Vote

Here is my suggestion based on some research and going through en:Konkani language

• ISO code for Goan Konkani = gom
• ISO code for Maharashtrian Konkani = knn
• ISO code for Konkani = kok

but both Goan Konkani and Maharashtrian Konkani are dialects of same language KONKANI....i think wikipedia does not allow creation of wikipedia based on dialects....if you follow ethnologue.com which is used to identify languages by wikimedia then

• Goan Konkani = uses Kannada script [Knda]. Latin script [Latn].
• Maharashtrian Konkani = Devanagari script [Deva], primary usage. Kannada script [Knda], no longer in use. Latin script [Latn], no longer in use.
• Konkani = no info, so let us assume it uses all three script devnagri, kannada and latin

but this wikipedia uses all three scripts and even looking at discussion above it seems that users agree this is only KONKANI wikipedia. So here is my proposal

1. Changing gom-deva to कोंकणी
2. Changing gom-latn to Konknni
3. Changing gom to कोंकणी / Konknni
4. Addition of kannada script and name as ಕೊಂಕಣಿ
5. Changing of address from gom to kok

Sushilmishra (उलयात) 17:38, 25 जुलय 2015 (IST)

Venn diagram of the Konkani languages

Sushilmishra, I agree with your above vote for the names, but not with regard to the language codes (gom, knn and kok). I would like to clarify one thing: everything that is in this Wikipedia comes under Goan Konkani (gom) only. The Devanagari script Konkani is also part of gom. Maharashtrian Konkani (knn) is a totally different thing. To summarise:

• Goan Konkani gom (everything in this wikipedia) = Uses Devanagari script [Deva], Latin script [Latn], and Kannada script [Knda]
• Maharashtrian Konkani knn = A group of dialects that share features of both Goan Konkani (gom) and Marathi (mr), probably uses only Devanagari script [Deva].
• Konkani kok = Defined as a macrolanguage that includes gom and knn.

The image at the right will help make things clearer. What I have explained above are not my personal views, but this is what ISO, SIL, ethnologue, etc. say. Hence, there is no question of changing any language codes. The Discoverer (uloi) 18:25, 25 जुलय 2015 (IST)

Suggestion

Changing name in devnagri as ==== कोंकणी ====, Changing name in latin as ==== Konknni ====, Addition of kannada script and name as ಕೊಂಕಣಿ.

Kindly let us not fragment more further by adding Maharashtra, Karnataka, Kerala etc. They are dialects. Lets move forward for only ==== KONKNNI ==== I have also communicated with Fr. Pratap Naik, SJ (Writer, Researcher and Authority on the Langugae with TSKK ) who has stated the correct word in Romi is and should be KONKNNI. Rosario Fernandes (उलयात) 19:49, 25 जुलय 2015 (IST)

Label for gom

I have updated the final vote with "gom = कोंकणी / Konknni". Now the question may arise why to leave out "ಕೊಂಕಣಿ". My reasoning is that there is no gom-knda localisation (interface translation) at present at translatewiki.org. There is almost no editing activity; out of the 1800+ articles on this wiki, little over 50 articles are in the Kannada script. This isn't to imply that that Kannada is less important in some way than the other two, just that Devanagari and Latin names are more representative of what the Konkani Wikipedia is today. So I suggest lets keep the gom label as "कोंकणी / Konknni" for now, and when there is a gom-knda localisation, and there are significant articles and activity in the Kannada script, we can always add "ಕೊಂಕಣಿ".

Better word for 'Module'

The word being used at present for the namespace "Module" is "मापदंड". I think that this is probably the wrong word, because "मापदंड" means criterion. A module is basically 'an independent unit that can be used to construct a more complex structure' or 'a subsystem'. The closest word that I can think of is "उपप्रणाली". Requesting all Konknni experts to please suggest what would be the right word to use for "Module". The Discoverer (uloi) 12:04, 30 जुलय 2015 (IST)

Dear Konknni Community We are aware that our Konkani Wikipedia has gone live. We have to work on most of the formalities. One of the formalities is: We have to Create a mailing list for Konkani Wikipedia. Kindly share your views.--Konknni mogi 24 (उलयात) 10:39, 14 ऑगस्ट 2015 (IST)

Konkani word for 'Special'

At present the word being used for special pages is 'विशेश'. Is 'विशेश' a proper Konkani word, or should we request to change to '‎ खाशेलें ' ?

'Special' in Romi Konknni = mhotvachem, khaxelem, vixesh Rosario Fernandes (उलयात) 19:23, 14 ऑगस्ट 2015 (IST)

• The word खाशेंलें will be more correct--Konknni mogi 24 (उलयात) 16:23, 18 ऑक्टोबर 2015 (IST)

WikiConference 2016

Hello Everyone, The first WikiConference India happened in 2011. It was the only pan-Indian Wikimedia Conference in the 14 years of history of Wikipedia since it started in 2001. WikiConference India 2016 (WCI 2016) is an outcome of Indic Meetup held during Wikimania 2015. We had a collective dream to bid for Wikimania 2019 on behalf of India. If we need to run a Wikimania successfully, it is time that the Wikimedia community of all languages in India reboots itself and works together towards that. Conducting a WikiConference India first will be a good start towards achieving that goal. This will help us assess our strengths and weakness and plan accordingly for Wikimania 2019. This is our bet to prove our unity in diversity :) We would like all of Indic Language community volunteers to prove our spirit, strength and Unity. Please sign up here We have called for translation of the message in your own language, which went unresponded, thats why we have to post this message in English. Our sincerest apologies. Regards, WCI 2016 Volunteers

Adding links

Dear Community members,

Konkani Wikipedia has close to 2,300 articles, but the home page says it has only 768 articles, I found out with help of wikitech-l mailing list that this is because, an article is counted if and only if it has a link in it to some other article in Konkani Wikipedia, Intrawiki links. So, I have run a bot script now to make links to the following words, which are more frequently used :

1. Goa
2. God
3. गोंय
4. ब्रिटीश
5. पुस्तक
6. Jezu
7. जेजू

Now, in some templates or categories where the above might have been used, they might break, we need to correct them, please bring such issues to my notice, I will be happy to correct them, so far, when I was posting this message, the article count is brought upto 1,210.

Also, request community members to vote for my bot RahmanuddinBot, that does this task for me.

Please sign here, if you want the bot to run maintenance tasks on Konkani Wikipedia :

1. (sign with 4 tildes)

Please sign here, if you dont want the bot to run :

1. (sign here, if you oppose such action)

Please sign here, if you feel you dont know what the bot does is useful or not and you are confused about the bot activities :

--रहमानुद्दीन (उलयात) 19:10, 9 ऑक्टोबर 2015 (IST)

I don't consider myself to be a (voting) member of this community since I don't read or write the language (so I'm not signing above), but I must point out that the way you implemented these bot edits was very poorly planned. Please do not make any more such edits until you figure out how to do it correctly. I don't mean to be rude, but frankly you should be checking for mistakes made by your bot. And you should have waited for the community to decide on allowing your bot to run before you started making the edits. - dcljr (उलयात) 10:14, 10 ऑक्टोबर 2015 (IST)

your bot did more damage to wikipedia than progress...many redirect were spoiled and many such effects....you need to learn about bot usage before using it....tnx to you now we are left with major clean up work....btw you havnt requested here before using your bot which is against wikipedia policy....Sushilmishra (उलयात) 15:44, 10 ऑक्टोबर 2015 (IST)

• Dear Sushilmishra, Can you please let me know which redirects are spoilt, so I can correct them? --रहमानुद्दीन (उलयात) 11:31, 12 ऑक्टोबर 2015 (IST)

रहमानुद्दीन I think you already found those pages and you can yourself see the extent of damage your bot did...Sushilmishra (उलयात) 23:16, 12 ऑक्टोबर 2015 (IST)

See my message at वापरपी चर्चा:RahmanuddinBot#Bad bot edits. The links provided there can get you started. There are far too many bad edits to actually list them all. If you are unable to fix the problems, it is likely that all of your bot's recent edits (say, from Oct 8th and later) will be reverted. - dcljr (उलयात) 08:52, 13 ऑक्टोबर 2015 (IST)

• Dear Sushilmishra & dcljr,
  I have corrected the issues you are speaking about before you posted here. This is the process of adding and correction as conditional statements in the bot didnt work for templates/categories. This is how a bot works, and the corrections would be done following such action, now please let me know he damage done.
  Also, dcljr sir, my only experimentation was done to check what is affecting the article count, if you still find the edits affecting Wikipedia and have damaged, please revert the edits. --रहमानुद्दीन (उलयात) 16:19, 13 ऑक्टोबर 2015 (IST)

I'm not sure which issues you think you've corrected, but even the last page you edited before posting your latest comment still contains errors introduced by your bot (broken "File:" links near the top and midway through, and broken "https:" link near the bottom—these are not the kinds of errors that would be made by a properly programmed bot). Also, you don't need to link every instance of any particular word or phrase in an article (by my count, your bot linked 52 separate instances of "Jezu" in the Jezu article, which is a ridiculous level of overlinking). Again I say, please look through the edits yourself (click on each of the "diff" links to see exactly what your bot changed). It should be pretty easy to find many remaining problems. Asking other users to fix your bot's errors is simply not good wiki etiquette. If you are actually unable to fix the problems for some reason, please ask a steward (cross-wiki administrator) for help at m:Steward requests/Miscellaneous. (There is actually already some discussion there about these edits.) - dcljr (उलयात) 07:22, 14 ऑक्टोबर 2015 (IST)

Train-a-Wikipedian

Hello,
I would like to inform you about CIS-A2K's new initiative Train-a-Wikipedian. It is an online learning initiative for editors and potential administrators to hone their skillsets related to Wikipedia editing and it's policies and guidelines in details. As you know, there is a lot to learn but it is difficult at times for many editors to find out exactly what they intend to learn to help their community in a better manner. This initiative would be useful to:

1. empower Editors to become better editors.
2. help Potential Administrators: here we will discuss Wikipedia policies and guidelines, admin's tasks and other responsibilities (Please note that admins are always selected by the communities, we would only help the participating editors to learn about the admin tasks)
3. help Admins to become more skilled and powerful. The training will be mostly online, but we may conduct offline sessions too if needed. If you want to nominate someone or join yourself, please do it by including the username below. --Tito Dutta (talk) 11:51, 7 जानेवारी 2016 (IST)

The visual editor is coming to this wiki

Hello. Please excuse the English. Please help translate to your language. Thank you!

Hi everybody,

My name is Erica, and I am a Community Liaison at the Wikimedia Foundation. I'm here to let you know that the visual editor is coming to editors at this Wikipedia soon. It allows people to edit Wikipedia articles as if they were using word processing software.

You don't have to wait until the deployment to test it; you can test the visual editor right now. To turn it on, select "बिटा" in your preferences. Choose "DixttiSompadok" and click save. When it is enabled, you will press the "बदल" button to edit an article in the new software. To use the wikitext editor, you can press "उगम बदल".

After the deployment, everyone will automatically have the option to use either the visual editor or the current wikitext editor. For more information about how to use the visual editor, see mw:Help:VisualEditor/User guide.

More information about preparing for the visual editor is posted here.

• It's easier to add templates if you've added TemplateData information.
• Please help translate the user interface and pages about the visual editor. See the visual editor's TranslationCentral for general information. To translate the user guide, go to the MediaWiki.org page, and select "Translate this page". Your language should be available from the drop-down menu on the right. Once you've done this, you'll see the document in English, side by side with any translation work already done in your language. You can add new translations or change old translations. To translate the user interface, you need to create an account at translatewiki.net. Contact me personally if you need help with that.
• Please let us know if you find any problems. You can report issues in Phabricator, the new bug tracking system or on the central feedback page on MediaWiki.org. If you notice major issues affecting your project, please leave a note on my talk page.
  Wrong target page? Fix it here • Sign up for the visual editor's multilingual newsletter

Thank you, and happy editing! --Elitre (WMF) (talk) 23:59, 5 फेब्रुवारी 2016 (IST)

Correct names for Goan Konkani (Part 2)

We had discussed earlier what the correct labels for the Konknni Wikipedia should be, and our conclusion was as follows:

Our first choice was the following:

• gom-deva: कोंकणी
• gom-latn: Konknni
• gom: कोंकणी / Konknni

Only in case there is a serious problem then we go for:

• gom-deva: गोंयची कोंकणी
• gom-latn: Gõychi Konknni
• gom: गोंयची कोंकणी / Gõychi Konknni

Accordingly we had created a task in Phabricator, but it has stalled because some people from Wikimedia had objections because we aren't using गोंयची / Gõychi . Hence I have requested for a change to गोंयची कोंकणी / Gõychi Konknni , but without prejudice to changing to कोंकणी / Konknni in the future if we have consensus for that.

The Discoverer (uloi) 12:42, 7 फेब्रुवारी 2016 (IST)

Done. This change has been made, and eventually, we will see गोंयची कोंकणी / Gõychi Konknni appearing everywhere. The Discoverer (uloi) 11:30, 17 फेब्रुवारी 2016 (IST)

Please avoid creating duplicate pages

Magtam soglea kodde novim panam toiar korchea adim tea vixoiavoir poilich ek pan asa zalear polleunchem mhunn. Halinch mhaka khupxeo duplicate panam mellim, zoxim:

• यॅमॅन ani येमेन
• वेर्णे (दक्षिण गोवा), वेर्णें ani वेर्णा
• मडगाव ani मडगांव
• राय(दक्षिण गोवा) ani राय
• Sallganv ani Saligao

I request everyone to check if a page already exists for the same topic before creating new pages. This can be tricky, but try to search alternate spellings and search in the other script and follow the VD or VR link. For eg. if one is creating the page 'वेर्णे', then search for 'Verna' and check for a link to a devanagari page. Merging duplicate pages later consumes time and effort.

Incase you come across duplicate pages please merge them yourself, or put a {{Merge|other page name}} tag on them.

Konknni name for Visual Editor

Visual Editor will be implemented in the Konknni Wikipidia soon. This is a good tool, it enables the user to edit pages on the page view itself and see the changes as they work instead of working with the source text and previewing periodically.

We need to decide a good name for Visual Editor in Konknni. At present the name being used is 'दिसपीसंपादक / DispiSompadok', however this means 'Visible Editor' and in my opinion it is not a suitable name. Please suggest what would be a good name.

I suggest that we can use the Konkani word for 'Direct Editor', because you can edit the page directly, instead of editing the source text. But I can't think of a good translation for 'Direct Editor'. Is it 'Nitt Sompadok'? 'Sarko Sompadok'? :)

Please give your suggestions for a good name for Visual Editor.

Regards, The Discoverer (uloi) 17:36, 18 फेब्रुवारी 2016 (IST)

How about using the word दृक संपादपी(Druk Sampadpi)--John Noronha (उलयात) 10:52, 23 फेब्रुवारी 2016 (IST)

Automatic archiving system for Konknni Wikipedia

I propose that we try to implement an automatic archiving system for talk pages in the Konkani Wikipedia. This system automatically moves old sections of talk pages to an archive page periodically or when the page gets too long. For example this page (Somudaiechem Mukhel Pan) has now become quite long and I propose to implement the system initially for this page.. You can read more about this at: en:Help:Archiving a talk page. Please reply if you have any comments or to support or oppose. The Discoverer (uloi) 17:53, 18 फेब्रुवारी 2016 (IST)

Enable Flow extension

I recommend that we enable the Flow extension throughout the Konknni Wikipidia (on all talk and discussion pages). This is a feature that is available to us that makes it easy to use and maintain talk and discussion pages by making it in a modern forum format. It will make the talk pages neater and there will be no need to have separate code for archiving posts and for signing unsigned comments, etc. Further, since we are a relatively new wiki, if we switch to Flow now, the transition will be much easier with less complications.

Flow is already being used in several wikis including translatewiki.net. You can take a look at an example of a talk page using Flow on the English Wikipedia: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Hampshire. You can also try it out yourself at mw:Talk:Sandbox.

Reminder: the visual editor is coming to this wiki soon

Hello again. Please excuse the English. Please help translate to your language. Thank you!

This is a reminder that the visual editor is coming to all editors at this Wikipedia soon. As of this writing, the team is not aware of any issues specific to this language that should prevent the new software to be deployed here; therefore, please do let us know if you find any problems instead. You can report issues in Phabricator, the new bug tracking system or on the central feedback page on MediaWiki.org. There is a short guide at mediawiki.org that you can follow (as if it was a "checklist") to learn about the community work necessary to adapt the visual editor, and its referencing system in particular, to your community's needs.

If you can translate from English into this wiki's language, or know anyone who can, please follow the links below, as this language still has 0% progress in translations(0% or slightly above, for interface messages). You'll help your community get the best possible experience when it comes to interface messages and documentation related to the visual editor. After you click on any links, your language should be available from the drop-down menu on the right. Once you've selected it, you'll see the document in English side by side with any translation work already done in your language. You can add new translations or modify existing ones. The interface is hosted at https://translatewiki.net; you'll need an account if you never translated there before. The user guide lives at Mediawiki.org, for which you can use your regular Wikipedia account. You're welcome to contact me personally whenever you need help.

Thank you for your cooperation, and happy editing! --Elitre (WMF) (talk) 22:04, 26 फेब्रुवारी 2016 (IST)

Correction of namespace names

As per discussions we have had, including these about Special and Module, we need to correct our namespace names.

In each of the following cases, although the current namespace name is a Konkani word, it is not a commonly-used word, the translations in translatewiki.net all use the word that we are proposing to change to. This creates a disconnect in users' minds, because the messages all use one term, and the namespace names are a different word.

Namespace	Presently used name	Correct Konkani name
Help	मजत	आदार
Help talk	मजत चर्चा	आदार चर्चा
Category	श्रेणी	वर्ग
Category talk	श्रेणी चर्चा	वर्ग चर्चा
Media	मिडिया	माध्यम
User	उपेगकर्तो	वापरपी
User talk	उपेगकर्तो चर्चा	वापरपी चर्चा

Please let me know if you have any objections /comments / suggestions / opinions, otherwise I will go ahead and place a request for the correction of namespace names. The Discoverer (uloi) 23:21, 4 मार्च 2016 (IST)
